Raising Eyebrows vs. Porty and Friends
RE vs. PaF –The lone A Division matchup of the night didn’t disappoint, as RE and PaF delivered a fast-paced, tightly contested battle defined by stellar goaltending. It took nearly 14 minutes to break the deadlock, when Patrick Portelance buried a rebound off his own shot to open the scoring. RE answered late in the half with a beautiful glove-side snipe, but Patrick struck again—this time on a cross-floor one-timer—to restore PaF’s 2-1 lead heading into the break, with Steph Portelance shutting the door the rest of the way. The second half stayed just as tight. PaF weathered a double minor with a strong penalty kill, and the Portelance duo took over from there. Steph stood tall in net, while Patrick completed the hat trick with a clutch shorthanded goal to make it 3-1. From there, the goalies took over again. RE pushed late and pulled the goalie, but couldn’t solve Steph, as PaF locked things down and secured a hard-earned two points.
